well... after reading many threads of this forum I felt virtually illeterate on lubricants... So, hi all !..
I find this lubricant. There are good properties mentioned on the bottle; non-toxic, works -45F to +450F, impervious to salt, does not attract dust, good adhesion, stability in wet, and is dielectric.
As the name "RadioShack" suggests I think this gel mainly is for electric motors. On the bottle it says "it works almost on any product". But this statement sounds too brave and overly generalized to me like "ACME axle grease: guaranteed slippery"
I would like to have some opinions on what are the limitations and possibilities of this lubricant. Can I use it for mechanic speedo internals? Will this gel provide a lubrication that lasts? Specifically there is an axle of ~2mm dia running inside a brass bearing. This is what chirps right now, and removing speedo is costing to much time (with a head in the ground attempt I greased it before with spray white lithium grase which lasted only ~15K miles)
Below is the listing of ingredients as shown in the MSDS sheet.
What do you think?
